Human Resources 2.0: Culture Trumps Everything!

Successful organizations know that success is directly related to a strong culture that is supported by strategy and internal structure.  The shift from HR compliance to culture has enabled organizations to excel by putting resources where they matter most…in PEOPLE. Maximizing the value of employees will drive business results. HR compliance, while necessary, has never been strategic. Focusing on people is strategic and should be a strategic pillar of all organizations. Focusing on people is the crossroad where good organizations veer and become great organizations. Embedding and living a ‘people first’ attitude is a winning strategy.

According to a LinkedIn survey, today’s employees have high expectations of their employers, and those expectations go far beyond just getting a bi-weekly paycheck. The survey found that people would rather have lower pay (65%) and forego a fancy title (26%) than deal with a bad workplace environment. Employees are looking for workplaces where their beliefs and values align with that of their company.

A company culture is an unwritten playbook by which people behave, and it starts with a clear vision and clear set of values. Knowing what the organization is at its core is paramount to creating a culture that staff can buy into, and that others will want to join. Check out our Satori Values. A strong and valued culture will improve productivity, employee engagement and happiness and stem employee turnover.
